folder or directory cannot be deleted solution

I was deleting some folders on my dns323. a message saying directory cannot be deleted pops out.
1st thing i check is maybe there are some files left at the folder but i cannot see any. i even have the show hidden/system files set to show, and still folder seem empty. am using total commander (winxp) to connect on my dns323(linux-debian) via network.

i google and found the solution here.

ls -a

did show that there files left. but using windows i did not see any. so i telnet on my dns323 to see those hidden files. then i can delete them easily.

so some hidden files on linux cannot be seenon windows?
